Let Me Be Forgiven!!

Going to college is a choice. College is not for everyone but some who do have an interest in college but can not afford it is a big deal to me. A student loan is one way that a student can go to college but it is just that, a loan. Throughout the years, they would eventually have to pay it all back. My thing is, if we did not have money to go to school in the first place, imagine how long it would take to pay it all back. On March 8, 2012 our current president Barack Obama introduced a new and beneficial program that college students can use. Obama Student Loan Forgiveness program clears students that have made payments regularly for a minimum of 20 years. Additionally, you must have paid at least 10% of your loan to be eligible and you get up to $45,000 in forgiveness. This program is very beneficial however, it only applies to those who have taken out a federal loan. What about those that have private loans? In my research, I learned that some private loans will forgive you of your loans but you have to work for it. I think this is a very unfair program especially for local students who don't have a choice. There are lots of determined students that deserve to be forgiven because they may just be the ones that change the world. This program should cover all loans. If I, when the time comes, take out a private loan and can not afford to pay it back, please let me be forgiven!
